IMAGINE Indian bureaucrats, known for strategic mind and cautious action, playing an actual game of wrestling. An inter-ministry wrestling tournament will be held in New Delhi’s Brassey Avenue Sports Complex on January 19 and 20, 2012. And entries are invited from government employees on or before January 12, 2012.

According to Wikipedia, the origins of wrestling can be traced back 15,000 years through cave drawings in France. The Mahabharata has a narration of a famous wrestling encounter between Bhima and Jarasandha. But where are the references of two bureaucrats settling scores in a wresting ring?
